the German army depend on MAORI
ties in the reichstag? By doing so you
change the imperial army into a parlia-
mentary force. In this case we might
have to appeal to the electors to dis
cover whether that is really the wish of
the nation" And so the reichstag
voted on the question, and it defeated
the chancellor's bill. 1t refused to be
bulldozed by him into what it conoeiv-
ed to be an unnecessary measure. The
world moves, and even in Germany,
despite the old ar~istocratic ideas of the
military which have for so long domi-
mated the people, there is a spirit OF in
dependence which means better days
tor its people. Prince Bismarck
affects to forget that the world also
moves In France. That country is no
longer the France of the %autocrat,
Napoleon I, or of his degenerate sue
cessor OF the coup d'etat. 1t is a re-
publican France-a democracy, where
tho people rule, and where war fol
personal sggrandizement is no longer
popular. The conditions of 1e07-13
can never return. The rslchstag does
not believe in war, any more than do
the French people, and very properly
refused to be bullied into war measures
under the plea of peace Bismarck,
however, kept his word, and dissolved
the congress. The elections will take
place on February 81, when it will be
seen if the Iron Princes corn of legis-
lative control of the army is shared by
the people. In the mean time Germany
has something to interest 1t.
